Stow Bardolph

Stow Bardolph is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, lying between King's Lynn and Downham Market on the A10.

It covers an area of 24.68 km2 (9.53 sq mi) and had a population of 1,014 in 421 households as of the 2001 census. For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.

The Stow Bardolph estate was purchased by the Hare family in 1553. Stow Hall was constructed in 1589 by Nicholas Hare, Master of the Rolls and Keeper of the Great Seal.

A wax effigy of the upper body of Sarah Hare (died 1744), including alarmingly lifelike face and hands, is displayed upright in a mahogany case, in the Hare Chapel of Stow's Holy Trinity Church. It is the only funerary effigy of its kind outside Westminster Abbey. There is a stained glass window to the memory of Victoria Cross winner Reverend James William Adams who was vicar here.
